I promised I would post the LASD and BCS paperwork from the motion to change the date of the Attorney Fee hearing.

By way of a quick summary, a timeline:

February 2012:
BCS began threatening that they wanted to collect
attorney fees.

March 2012-June 2012:
BCS requested delays in their filing deadline. LASD was asked, and agreed to
allow BCS to extend the time they had to file such a motion.

July 2012:BCS files actual demand for $1.3M in fees.

Aug 2012:
LASD filed discovery to understand the fee demands. BCS has refused
to answer the discovery. LASD asked for an extension of when we would
respond, so that we can resolve the discovery issue and so that the fee
motion doesn't coincide with the hearing on the 2012-13 case. BCS is
opposed
the District request, which is why we went to court yesterday.

About Me

I have 1 child in the LASD schools, and 1 who has graduated and moved on to high school. After several years of active volunteer work, I got involved in the school board. In the fall of 2009, I was elected to the Board of Trustees. I am grateful for the trust the community has placed in me. I intend to continue to use this blog to share my thoughts about district matters.

I have a passion for using technology to solve problems in new ways. I draw on my experience at a subscription billing company and past tech ventures to inform new approaches to solving longstanding issues in education. It isn't always comfortable for folks, but I believe there is a lot of cross-polination that can happen.

Please remember that this blog is my personal blog, and does not reflect the opinion of the Board as a group. No statements made here can be considered an offical policy of the Board, and this does not replace actions by the Board in any way. However, I'm happy to share what I can and I look forward to hearing your thoughts too.
